Very pretty.

Because we have lost so much time due to weather, I doubt we get the time to do any anodizing this year.

how heavy is it?
it looks like it could weigh a ton!

ohhhhhhh...pretty colors. It's always good to have a sweet looking robot.
How much weight did the anodizing add? and how much time did it take?
And great colors by the way, Go Knights!! :cool:

I'd estimate it weighs about 30-40 lbs in that picture. The students didn't measure the chassis components before and after anodizing, but I imagine it would be a very minimal weight gain as anodizing is largely depositing dyes into the aluminum surface.

Counting the weekend, it took about 4-5 days to get it all done. Of course it was all done by a new sponsor. ;)
